Olivia Jory’s meth-fuelled joy ride hits 165km/h before launching car 35 metres in Mildura crash

A disqualified Mildura driver high on meth flew through a red light at 165km/h before crashing into two cars — miraculously, no one was hurt.

A disqualified Mildura motorist who was high on meth tore through a red light at 165km/h, launched her car 35m and slammed into two vehicles.

Olivia Jory fronted Mildura Magistrates’ Court to plead guilty to charges including reckless conduct endangering life and driving while disqualified.

Jory was supported in court by her mother and her friend, who supplied a character reference for her.

On the night of November 20, Jory smoked three points of meth before jumping behind the wheel of her grey 2016 Mazda 3 and heading north down San Mateo Ave.

She was first caught on CCTV doing 165km/h through a red light at the intersection of 15th St and San Mateo Ave — the speed limit on that stretch of San Mateo Ave is 60km/h.

Minutes later, CCTV captured Jory’s vehicle hitting the roundabout at the corner of San Mateo Ave and 13th St at 136km/h causing her vehicle to become airborne for 35m before colliding with a Jumbuck ute.

The ute was hit with such force the front and rear wheels of the vehicle were touching each other, the car a complete write off.

Remarkably, Jory continued driving until she collided with another vehicle, this time a Honda Civic, 130m down the road.

When emergency services arrived at the scene, Jory was found sitting on the kerb in a heightened state, yelling and screaming.

She was sedated by paramedics before she was taken to Mildura Base Public Hospital, where it was determined by blood test she was high on methamphetamine.

Jory admitted to police that she had smoked three points of meth just 15 minutes before getting behind the wheel that night.

Her lawyer Bert Hilton-Wood said Jory had no memory of the crash and had begun drug and alcohol counselling in February.

Police prosecutor Kristen Simm said it was miraculous no one had been killed as a result of Jory’s behaviour.

“In my 14 years as a police officer, it is one of the most serious car accidents I have seen. How no person was killed is a miracle,” Leading Senior Constable Simm said.

Magistrate Michael Coghlan agreed, saying the crash could easily have become a coroner’s case.

“You are lucky to be here to face my condemnation of your actions today. It is amazing your vehicle allowed you to survive,” Mr Coghlan said.

“I need to send a message to this community – you cannot drive like this and put people at risk.”

Jory was sentenced to three months behind bars and will serve a community corrections order when she is released. Her licence was suspended for 15 months.
